A Dentist Reviews This Product, August 17, 2005
This review is from: Oral-B Interdental Kit with 2 Brushes (Health and Beauty)
These "flossing aides" are actually small brush tips that can be inserted between the teeth to clean areas commonly missed by regular brushing and flossing. As a dentist I recommend this type of product to anyone that has existing gum disease where the gums are inflammed and perhaps have receeded and created spaces between the teeth. These brush tips thoroughly cleanse these areas better than brushing or flossing alone. I also recommend these tips to people with bridgework where flossing is at best a difficult task. They also work good for people on the go, as they can be used in a car, at the desk, at home, just about anywhere, and can be used with one hand quite easily. Physically handicapped people find these tiny brushes much easier to use than floss.
I don't recommend that one abandons flossing by using this product, as the bristles do not clean the contact points between the teeth at all. The contact points are areas where cavities can form in-between the teeth. Therefore, continue to brush and floss, and use these tiny bristles for added cleaning between the teeth.
This is a good product, is better than a toothpick, and is recommended for those people who prefer this method. Oral-B can be trusted as it is a very good company in the consumer dental field.
